Today Deacon Harold celebrates the Blessed Virgin Mary’s birthday and the fact that she was conceived without Original Sin. This is not a difficult teaching to accept if we remember that it was God's original intention that all humans begin their existence in the state of saving grace. It was the result of Original Sin that we are now conceived in a state deprived of this gift of grace. Mary, rather than being the exception, fulfills in a real sense the original intention of what God wanted for all His children: to be members of His family from the first moment of their existence.
